  • Weak Support The composition is awesome and it is fairly sharp. But it displays a bit of vignetting, and the contrast is a little low.Althepal 18:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support This is a wonderful eye catching image, taken from a good angle. It is sharp, and I agree that the contrast is a little low per above comments, but the picture still looks good. Matthuxtable 21:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose Yes, the texture of the sea looks nice with this lighting. But a "contre-jour" picture is not the best way to show the details on an histoical aircraft. Beatiful but with poor enc value. Alvesgaspar 12:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
